I'm slowly working my way through comments and clearing up my message centre, so never fear, I'm getting there.

In between that though I've been coding my website and learning CSS as I go which has been an exciting adventure into learning that Internet Explorer is a butt.

But having potentially subdued it, I'm declaring my site up and open. It's basically going to serve as a portfolio for my art and all it really means here is that the web address on the pictures will change.

I am so stupidly proud of this site and to have it done is awesome. This painting is my background graphic for it (and is therefore fairly unexciting as a standalone painting, but hey). There's still some various tweaking to be done to the site itself but it should hopefully be functional.

The sepia color scheme really gives the image a mellow and warm feeling that mirrors the adoration I see in the serpent's expressions. The only other color is in the eyes, making that the focal point of the image.

The composition is well planned with the emphasis on the left and the tail fading into the background on the right.

The details of the scales and hair are amazing. The details on the serpents make the image much more realistic and interesting to view. Their are no awkward areas of the image and everything looks fairly convincing though it is fantasy.

There isn't much I could suggest to improve upon. The only thing that I will suggest is adding a small amount of the blue to the right in some way to tie the color into the piece as a whole. I know this image was intended to be used as a background, but as a finished product the blue would help, but that is only my opinion.

I like this piece just fine as a stand alone.. but it works really well as your website background. Your website is spifftacular, by the way. Good job! Wish i was at all technologically inclined.. i have a -lot- of work to do on my website, and no skillz!

Aww, thanks. I know hardly anything about web design really - I used W3 schools ( [link] ) to learn all the basics and ran to google whenever something wouldn't work. I figured I just needed to know enough to get a somewhat navigable site.

Thank you! The tails are either obscured or just 'fading artistically' - I didn't want them distracting attention from the content of the site and they're off screen on the common resolutions anyway (I was also impatient to get the site online ).

It's an adorable piece of work. You did a wonderful job on the designs of the dragons. I like how you didn't make them look exactly the same, and the design on the female (the one on the left, I'm assuming) is really pretty. I'd love to see more.
